Europe is dealing with the US, just not via empty threats on social media. Things take time when you have a functioning democratic system with checks and balances.

It's there any evidence that trading off of headlines works long-term?

Sounds a lot like what Musk does, except maybe that Musk uses his companies to outright bail himself out.

I think you underestimate how little economic pressure matters when people are up against an invader who attacked amidst negotiations for bogus reasons, threatened total annihilation, and killed thousands, including a school full of children.

And, to add on, how much more it matters when a very rich population didn't sign up for this at all and has no vested interest in "winning" at cost.

Iranians despise their government in about the same way that Americans despise their government - which is to say, both peoples got the government they deserve...

Beside posturing, modern China was only involved in skirmishes at the Indian border. What's delusional is blindly comparing China to Russia or the USA.

Russia is keeping their expensive equipment in the back since years now because they're afraid to lose it. They would be fire bombing cities if they could. Russia already used white phosphorous in this war. The only reason they're not killing more civilians with missiles and drones is because they can't build more of them.

Thanks Joe Rogan.

Well I was curious - if there's 6 weeks of supplies, and lead time for tankers is 3 weeks, we don't have 6 weeks, we have 3 ...

Thousands dead, millions displaced, Hegseth just quoted "Pulp Fiction" at a sermon, but perhaps this might make enough Europeans fed up with the US.

Hardly a surprise. This crack team of negotiators couldn't make Russia budge an inch after a year of negotiations, and only managed to put pressure on the victim country.

Hilarious. Trump didn't agree to let Iran have control of the strait in a desperate attempt, they just can't find the mines, because if they could, the strait would have been open by now.

This is funnier than when Vance tried to dismiss Iran's Lebanon ceasefire condition by suggesting that Iranians can't understand English.

Nice to see USA get a taste of Trump's dealmaking skills after trying to tell Ukraine to concede more than they already lost for nothing in return.
